Overview
- The extension pushes previously announced suspensions from February 28 to March 28, according to IndiGo's latest advisory.
- Affected customers can choose alternate travel options or request a full refund through the airline’s Plan B process.
- Both IndiGo and Air India are avoiding Iranian airspace, using longer routings that have disrupted schedules and increased block times.
- IndiGo has reworked its wide‑body network, pausing Copenhagen services from February 17 and trimming Delhi–London Heathrow and Delhi–Manchester frequencies due to strain on its six 787‑9s and airport congestion.
- The operational changes follow regional developments that include a US carrier strike group deployment, Revolutionary Guards drills in the Strait of Hormuz, and renewed indirect talks between Tehran and Washington.
